just a question i would like to clarify or ask the opinion of the others here in BGG

played this game bout 2 hours back, and one friend used the well action to trigger the "market day" action cos it was already done once this round

my question is

1) does the market day proceed as normal ? will all players having a shot to sell to the customers after the player who activated it gets his/her free shot ? or is it a one off for the activating player ?

- my gut feeling is to play as normal

2) because this is done within the same round as when the first market day action was taken, does the market get refilled to the required number ( 5 for a 4 player game ) ? or does it stick to what was left after the first market day ? i'm not entirely certain if the customers in waiting are pushed up immediately after the market day action or after the round.

Whenever the market action has been triggered, you refill the client cue immediately once all players have passed.

If one player triggers the market action by using the well, you play it exactly the same way as if it had been triggered by taking the influence cube. All players get to sell after the one who triggered it had his free sell action.

1) You play it as if it was a normal market day, ie the triggering player gets free first time go, then round the table with others paying the relevant cube/time cost to buy2) at the end of the first market day you then shove cards up and replenish spaces, so when it's (if it's) triggered via the well, you can play 'as normal'

We do not do multiple market days during one game turn. The reason why, a careful examination of the well action picture on the board. The well action on the board only shows six of the seven colored action spaces none of them is the blue colored market action. I know the rule book kind of says differently but because of the board's well picture I believe the rule book to have an error in translation or something.

Harvest and Family share a colour, so there are only 6. (The rules show purple as their colour, rather than the more pink tone of my copy of the board.) Blue is present on my board, but again the board blue is pale, compared to the colour shown in the rules.

NB. There is a very small chance you are blue/purple colour-blind, a condition so much rarer than red/green that when detected in a gaming friend of mine his optician had to go look it up before he could make a diagnosis from the tests!

The Well rule reads:

'Instead of taking a cube from an action case youmay return 3 same-coloured influence cubes fromyour farmyard to the supply (but not plague cubes).For this, you may carry out any one of thepreviously listed actions.'

Coins are jokers and may be substituted for cubes, although you are using up 1vp for each one spent.

Market is of course listed in the previous actions. If the designer* wanted an exception the rules would be structured differently, or a definate exception would be noted.

*The exception to this general rule is Martin Wallace, where frankly, you're on your own.
